Explanation:

Step1: Identify the percentage for clothes dryer

From the circle graph, the clothes dryer uses 5% of the total electricity.

Step2: Calculate the electricity used by clothes dryer

Total electricity used is 1,900 kWh. To find 5% of 1,900, we use the formula: $ \text{Amount} = \text{Total} \times \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} $
So, $ 1900 \times \frac{5}{100} = 1900 \times 0.05 = 95 $

Answer:

95 kWh
